*one google later* Burrito Splendido

Burrito Splendido moved out a few months ago,  I believe they are moving to a larger location in the area.  No idea on the address as of yet.   

Going on the Crumbl site...  $6 -$8 per cookie!!   I wish them luck but I can't imagine that place staying open for long.   Several other bakeries/cupcake places have opened and closed recently in the area.

Well they also sell Dirty Sodas whatever those are

I never really liked Dulce's anyway

When I used to work downtown I would get Cookies By George,   those were always a hit.   Those were "gourmet" cookies and considered expensive at $3.00 per cookie.  Oh Doughnuts the same at around $4 per doughnut.       This is double the price and it's only a cookie.  Those cookies better be the size of a small pizza at those prices....

well I don't know how big those "Skillet" cookies will be, I'm sure their cakes are good though

They are decent sized but still not for me at that price point.

Interesting that the Winnipeg franchises have a Bombers connection.  Owners are Kristina Bighill and Paulina Coombs (Anthony's wife).

I sure hope it is near Transcona.     

Famous Dave's has gone from good to really bad over the last several years and the Belle's place is not our cup of tea.      I really miss the days of Loveys

Eh sometimes their food truck finds their way to that end

I hope so too.  At one point, Rob kicked tires on what is now Belle's Kitchen so he's definitely wanted to come to this way for a while.  Fingers crossed that he can find a place that works but either way, anywhere it the city will be better than driving out to Steinbach.

Yup. Lovey's was pretty good. I used to really like Famous Daves but its turned into overpriced dogs**t over the last few years.

When it first opened it was really good.  Decent sized portions for both the adult and kids meals and everything was above average. 

The last two times we went the service was extremely slow to a point where I had to find the server to see if they had forgotten our order.   The meat was dried out and the portions were extremely frugal.  My adult meal was smaller then what they used to serve as kids meals.

I loved Loveys ,but as i understand it ,the owner passed on?? Big Smoak moving in would be phenomenal.
